I honestly can’t believe that it’s Halloween week. What’s even harder for me to believe is that my twins are 3-months-old today.
No matter how long I live, I am forever surprised by the bizarre way that time passes. On one hand it feels like the babies were born yesterday, and on the other it feels like they’ve been with us forever. Looking back on the months, they’ve flown by, but thinking back to some of the harder moments, those times dragged on sometimes painfully tortuously.
In any case, Halloween is just a few days away now and in these moments, I pray for time to slow down. I am cherishing everything about these magic days. The crispness in the air, finally. The front porches filled with decorations of the season. People smiling and waving to us on our walks, always asking, “Are they twins!?” and telling me how full my hands must be.
There is so much magic in this season (of the year and of my life). It often feels like my heart may burst for the gratitude of it all. Yes, I am tired & busy & sometimes unsure of things like– “how? if? what? when?” But when that overwhelm kicks in, I just sit back & I start to count the blessings.
Worry about tomorrow, tomorrow. Right now is all we have. ✨
